Response to Fictional Letters - My hopes and dreams and worst nightmares...

I hope that we can teach effectively to the majority while acknowledging the minority.   My dream is that I can make a difference to some students life and encourage them to be the best they can be.   My worst nightmare is having students think I don't know what I'm talking about, and tune-out.   I want to give every student a chance to succeed.   My hope is that I can connect at least a little bit with each student,  sometime during the term,  however small way it may be.   Ambitious?  Realistic?  Only time will tell.
